Getting the Best cooking results
Testing your dinnerware or cookware
Test dinnerware or cookware before using. To test a dish for safe use, put it into
oven with a cup of water beside it. Cook at 100% cook power for one minute. If the
dish gets hot, do not use it.
Some dishes (melamine, some ceramic dinnerware, etc.) absorb microwave energy,
becoming too hot to handle and slowing cooking times. Cooking in metal containers
not designed for microwave use could damage the oven, as could containers with
hidden metal (twist-ties, foil lining, staples, metallic glaze or trim).
To get the best results from your microwave oven, read and follow the guidelines below.
Storage Temperature:
• Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to
cook than the same foods at room temperature.
Size:
• Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones, pieces similar in size and
shape cook more evenly. For even cooking, reduce the power when cooking large
pieces of food.
Natural Moisture:
• Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy is
attracted to water molecules.
Stir foods
• such as casseroles and vegetables from the outside to the center to
distribute the heat evenly and speed cooking. Constant stirring is not necessary.
Turn over or rotate foods
• like pork chops
,
baking potatoes, chicken breast, frozen
food, roasts, or whole cauliower halfway through the cooking time to expose all
sides equally to microwave energy.
Place delicate areas of foods,
• such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the dish.
Arrange unevenly shaped foods,
• such as chicken pieces or salmon steaks, with the
thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the dish.
Shield, with small pieces of aluminum foil,
• parts of food that may cook quickly, such
as wing tips and leg ends of poultry.
Let It Stand:
• After you remove the food from the microwave, cover food with foil or
casserole lid and let it stand to nish cooking in the center and avoid overcooking the
outer edges. The length of standing time depends on the density and surface area of
the food.
Wrapping in waxed paper or paper towel:
• Sandwiches and many other foods
containing prebaked bread should be wrapped prior to microwaving to prevent drying
out.

Cooking utensils
Microwave utensil guide
USE DO NOT USE
OVEN PROOF GLASS (treated
for high intensity heat):
Utility dishes, loaf dishes,
pie plates, cake plates, liquid
measuring cups, casseroles
and bowls without metallic trim.
CHINA:
Bowls, cups, serving plates
and platters without metallic
trim.
PLASTIC:
Plastic wrap (as a cover)-- lay
the plastic wrap loosely over
the dish and press it to the
sides.
Vent plastic wrap by turning
back one edge slightly to allow
excess steam to escape. The
dish should be deep enough
so that the plastic wrap will
not touch the food. As the
food heats it may melt the
plastic wrap wherever the wrap
touches the food.
Use plastic dishes, cups,
semirigid freezer containers
and plastic bags only for short
cooking times.
Use these with care because
the plastic may soften from the
heat of the food.
PAPER:
Paper towels, waxed paper,
paper napkins, and paper
plates with no metallic trim
or design. Look for the
manufacturer’s label for use in
the microwave oven.
METAL UTENSILS:
Metal shields the food from microwave energy
and produces uneven cooking. Also avoid metal
skewers, thermometers or foil trays. Metal utensils
can cause arcing, which can damage your
microwave oven.
METAL DECORATION:
Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware,
casserole dishes, etc. The metal trim interferes with
normal cooking and may damage the oven.
ALUMINUM FOIL:
Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they
hinder cooking and may cause harmful arcing. Use
small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings.
Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the side
walls and door of the oven.
WOOD:
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split
or crack when you use them in the microwave oven.
Baskets react in the same way.
TIGHTLY COVERED UTENSILS:
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from
covered utensils.
Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food
items before cooking.
Tightly closed pouches could explode.
BROWN PAPER:
Avoid using brown paper bags.
They absorb too much heat and could burn.
FLAWED OR CHIPPED UTENSILS:
Any utensil that is cracked, awed, or chipped may
break in the oven.
METAL TWIST TIES:
Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags.
They become hot and could cause a re.

Sensor operating instructions
Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your
favorite foods without selecting cooking times and
power levels. The display will indicate the sensing
period by scrolling the name of the food. The oven
automatically determines required cooking time for
each food item. When the internal sensor detects
a certain amount of humidity coming from the food,
it will tell the oven how much longer to cook. The
display will show the remaining heating time.
For best results when cooking by Sensor, follow
these recommendations:
1. Food cooked with the sensor system should be at
normal storage temperature.
2. Glass turntable and outside of container should
be dry to assure best cooking results.
3. Most foods should always be covered loosely
with microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or
a lid.
4. Do not open the door or touch the STOP/CLEAR
pad during the sensing time. When sensing
time is over, the oven beeps and the remaining
cooking time will appear in the display window.
At this time you can open the door to stir, turn, or
rearrange the food.
See sensing chart on page 22.
IMPORTANT:
When using sensor cook, the oven must cool for 5
minutes between uses or food will not cook properly.

Sensor cooking guide
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure
good Sensor cooking results.
1. Always use microwavable containers and cover
them with lids or vented plastic wrap.
2. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can
prevent steam from escaping and cause food to
overcook.
3. Match the amount to the size of the container. Fill
containers at least half full for best results.
4. Be sure the outside of the cooking container and
the inside of the microwave oven are dry before
placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture
turning into steam can mislead the sensor.
NOTE:
If food is not thoroughly cooked or reheated when
using the sensor feature, complete using a power
level and cooking time. DO NOT continue using the
sensor pad.
